Rise and fall double socket

[bilbo_88]

Doing a job in a restaurant, and owner would like sockets hung from the ceiling that can retract back to ceiling after use. Any ideas? Personally thought the only option would be something rigid because of potential damage etc. Any advice on alternatives appreciated!

Thanks!

is this the type of thing your client is after? We use them above our welders bench..... hope his taste in food is better than his taste in decor

But you will have to fully extend the cord before using anything with significant load.

i.e a welder.

Hi LeeH,

the above mentioned retractable outlets are an example of what we use as a tidy solution for an external welders bench on a drill ship. Means there are no trailing leads going across the decks while we are using 110V/208V power tools, which stops the buffoons damaging the cable.
The welding plants themselves are all 480V Miller types which supply multiple welding outlets throughout the rig and so we wouldn't use that type of retractable outlet for them.
Although you are right in 1 respect, our welder is indeed a significant load..... the fat ****
cheers
